These cut-off points are crucial for anyone hoping to avoid a last-minute panic.
Top Beauty Bargains in the Boots Sale
The retailer's shelves are brimming with discounted gift sets that promise impressive value. Leading the offers is the Benefit Super Score Beauty Exclusive Star Gift, now priced at just £31.50. This collection, which would cost £97 if items were purchased individually, represents a saving of £65.50. The set includes a full-size volumising mascara, a rose-tinted lip and cheek stain, a face primer, a brow setter, and a bronzer.
Fragrance fans can turn their attention to the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette for Women Duo Gift Set. This 50ml set, presented in a gold gift box and complete with a 10ml travel spray, is now £60, down from £75. The iconic scent features top notes of berries, a heart of jasmine and white violets, and a woody base.
For those focusing on eye makeup, the Clinique Eye Essentials High Impact Lashes Mascara Gift Set is available for £21.67, reduced from £25.50. Valued at over £31 separately, the allergy-tested, fragrance-free kit contains a full-size mascara, a quickliner for eyes, and a popular cleansing balm.
Shopper Reviews and Alternative Options
Customer feedback on these sets has been largely positive. One reviewer of the Marc Jacobs Daisy set called the perfume "refreshing" and possessing a "unique smell which is to die for," recommending it highly as a gift. A fan of the Benefit primer noted it was essential for smoothing pores, stating, "It's part of my essential daily prep." Meanwhile, a long-term user of the Clinique cleansing balm praised its effectiveness and lack of fragrance, saying it removes makeup "without drying out the skin."
While some noted the Benefit set's value could be better if used daily, the overall consensus highlights the quality of the products. For shoppers looking beyond Boots, the article also mentioned alternatives like the Revolution Berry Bright Vegan Set at Superdrug for £15 (down from £65) and Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Icons On The Go Lip & Eye kit for £47.
With Christmas now just days away, these Boots deals provide a vital last-minute opportunity to find thoughtful, high-quality presents for beauty lovers while keeping a careful eye on the budget.
